So here is our Flyer Of The Week. Organic at Ibiza is this week's pic. Johnny Caron the mastermind designer behind the Organic flyers shares his inspiration: "With the launch of the first Organic being the 9 year anniversary, The theme for this month needed to represent an image of "New Life" mixed with "Old Life" a rebirth if you may.....An organic representation would lead to the image of the butterfly. From the birth of the cocoon to the beautiful evolution of a vibrant colored gift of nature. The butterfly represents a lot of what Organic is a the present moment."

To be considered for Flyer Of The Week submit your flyer design here and tell us your style and inspiration, plus any link you'd like to plug

Be good and may the vibe be with you...

I'm feeling the theme here, "peace". The flyer though a smidge tacky with peace signs has a good point. Peace. Say it together now. In addition to the fantastic DJs which are drool-worthy and go until 6am. This night of SF funky flavored house music features an "electric Peace fashion show at midnight." Will the peace sign ever catch on again or is it too weighed down by 60's nostalgia? Come find out. I'll rock that shit, again. Peace.
